Horizon view
Horizon from Montes Archimedes
25.3939° N, 5.2498° W · cell 22RJL
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Archimedes: 6.6° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 322°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.8 km away at azimuth 23°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,267 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.6° high at azimuth 114°, 35.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:13 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
